<h3>Details</h3>

<p>Forty-six mountains in the Adirondacks of upstate New York are
known as the High Peaks with elevations near or above 4000 feet (although modern measurements
show a couple of the peaks are actually slightly under 4000 feet). A goal for hikers in the region is
to become a &quot;46er&quot; by scaling each of these peaks.  
This dataset give infomation about the hiking trails up each of these peaks.
